30 January 2015

Dr KK Narayanan, managing director, Metahelix Life Sciences, on how humans have modified the nature and nurture of plants to make them amenable for farming. Dr Narayanan states that all the external conditions that make it conducive for the plant to grow and produce constitute its nurture, whereas the inherent capacity of the plant to grow and produce is its nature, and this is determined by its genetic make-up.
